A. Introduction
Hello teacher. My name is Tran Van Khoi. I'm a 2nd year student of BTEC FPT college, currently studying in class IT0501 and today's
ASM 1 will present about IoT research project management in the military in MSCP by Ms. Ngo Thi Mai. Loan. In the ASM article, there
are the following main contents:

- Devise project aims and objectives for a chosen scenario.

- Produce a project management plan that covers aspects of cost, scope, time, quality, communication, risk and resources.

- Produce a work breakdown structure and a Gantt Chart to provide timeframes and stages for completion.

B. Content

I. Project objective concept

1. What is the project goals?


- Definition:

+ Project goals can be defined as the end result a company wishes to achieve as a long-term gain.

+ Project goals are ascertained on the basis of facts and figures.

- Time Duration: Project goals are long-term goals and tend to cover a time period of usually 5-10 years.
- Measurability: Project goals are difficult to measure, they do not have any criteria or set way to be measured properly.

- Structure: Projects goals lack structure as they define long-term gains for an organization. Therefore, they are generic, vague, and
abstract in nature.

2. What is the project objectives?


- Project objectives can be defined as the concrete tasks that need to be executed in order to attain the end result.

- Project objectives are ascertained on the basis of ideas and innovative thoughts.

- Project objectives are more concrete and specific. They cover short to mid-term achievements that usually need to be implemented
on a daily basis.

- Project objectives are relatively easy to measure. They have set criteria that managers can take into account to measure whether
project objectives were met successfully.

- Project objectives are the opposite of project goals, since they are very specific in nature. Objectives are highly structured as they
define the short or medium-term achievements of an organization.

3. What Is A Project Charter?


When you initially charter a plane, you don’t need to provide a seating chart or list of names to the airline company. But you
need to know how many passengers you have, the cost of the trip, and your destination. The project charter is similar to that for your
project.

A project charter is a short document that explains the project in clear, concise wording for high level management. Project
charters outline the entirety of projects to help teams quickly understand the goals, tasks, timelines, and stakeholders. It is is an
essential deliverable in any project and one of the first deliverables as prescribed by the PMBOK Guide and other best practice
standards. The document provides key information about a project, and also provides approval to start the project. Therefore, it serves
as a formal announcement that a new approved project is about to commence. Contained also in the project charter is the
appointment of the project manager, the person who is overall responsible for the project.
* What does the project charter contain?

- When preparing the project charter, utilize the SMART method. Be Specific, ensure your goals are Measurable, Attainable, Relevant
to the project, and Timely. The project charter includes:

 Purpose and objectives of the project in clear, concise language


 Requirements of the project at a very high level and without much detail
 Project description in a paragraph or two that explains the project
 Known high-level, major categories of risks for the project
 Schedule of events with the start and end dates
 Major events or milestones along the path.
 Budget or summary of how much the project will cost
 Requirements from the organization for approval, including what to approve, who will approve, and how to get the approval
 Key players or stakeholders in charge of which parts of the project and who will approve the plans to go through
 An introduction of the project manager, project sponsor, and their authority level

II. Planning (P2 + P3)

1. WBS
* Concept

- WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) is the process of continuously dividing project outputs and work into smaller manageable
components.

- The work breakdown structure is the systematic breakdown of the project outputs from the project outputs that the project team
undertakes to achieve the project objectives and produce the outputs for the project. judgment. The successive levels of detail of the
WBS present the project work in more detail. The work breakdown structure is a way of organizing and defining the entire project
scope, and presenting the work defined in the approved project scope description. Applying a work breakdown structure helps the
project manager know with certainty that all deliverables and workloads are defined, helps to align the project with the company
organizational structure to assign responsibilities implementation for each department and individual, and establish the basis for
project implementation control.

- The work breakdown structure diagram looks like a multi-system tree that reflects the hierarchical work of the project. The top level
reflects the task to be performed, the lower levels show the level of detail of the goals, the lowest level is the specific job. The number
of ranks of a WBS depends on the size and complexity of the project.

* The effect of WBS on managers

- WBS defines all the elements of a project in a certain structure and establishes relationships with the final project output. Think of
the project as a large work package and successively broken down into smaller work packages, so the project is the sum total of all
those detailed work packages.

- WBS helps project managers in the following aspects:

+ Support for cost, schedule, and quality performance reviews at all levels of management in the company throughout the project life
cycle.

+ Provide leaders with information relevant to each level of management, for example, the top management is interested in the main
outputs of the project, while the lowest level of management will be in charge of the main outputs. out small and work packages.

+ Helps project managers with work planning, work scheduling and budgeting as WBS provides a framework to track costs and
performance by aggregating actual and actual costs. The planned costs of small work packages into larger elements make performance
measurement trackable by management level and by output.

+ WBS identifies information channels and assists in coordinating project departments because WBS indicates individual and
departmental responsibilities in performing project work.

2. Time planning
- The time estimate will be the basis for assessing the progress of the project implementation. Estimate time for each small job, to
estimate the entire project time. Estimating time is harder than building a job board…
- Accurately estimate the project implementation time

- Real-time estimation is an important skill in project management, for two reasons:

• Timely assessment helps you set the right deadline, which will improve your credibility

• The duration of a project often has a great influence on the cost and profit of the project Most people often underestimate the
implementation time (usually less than the actual time) because they do not fully understand the details of the project. work to be
done, and not taking into account contingencies. Another situation is that other important work can happen unexpectedly and take
up the time of the project participants. Here are a few suggestions to apply for small projects

Step 1. Know all the tasks you have to do: List all the tasks that must be done in detail. For example, implementing an Access control
system includes the following steps:

a) Survey, discuss with customers about installation requirements


b) Present in writing to the customer and wait for the confirmation of the customer's consent
c) Prepare materials and tools according to the verified survey 4.Burn wall, wire:
d) Mount the magnetic lock on the door and attach the devices: (a) fingerprint reader, (b) exit button, (c) backup power supply,
(d) .... Test system and line : (a) test the wire, (b) test the signal wire...
e) Refill the wall (a) ...(b) ...
f) Test the whole system again for the 2nd time (a) ... (b)...
g) Software installation (a) list of machines to be installed, (b) contact relevant person
h) User manual (a) list of people who need guidance (b) contact information
i) System acceptance test
j) In the example above, steps 1,2,3, are time consuming but easy to forget if not fully listed.

Step 2. Based on the task list, judge how long each task takes to complete. If your task is too unpredictable, try breaking it down even
more

Step 3. Make sure you've included time for project management, planning, stakeholder contact, meetings, quality checks, and
documentation time Step 4 Make sure you have 1 time reserve for the following situations:
• Urgent jobs, belonging to projects of higher importance. This is actually a very common occurrence because no company has only 1
project.

• Accidents, emergency situations •Internal meetings • Vacation/sick leave of important team members •Damage of tools

• Delayed delivery by the supplier

• Customer delay

• Error detection and error handling In some cases, the above scenarios can double your project's lead time. The specific number really
depends on the nature of your job and the organization of your company.

Summary: If you underestimate the execution time, you will:

• Losing your credibility with customers

• Stressing project participants

• Affect profits, maybe even cause the project to lose money. Therefore, try to get the estimate right, by remembering the following
2 key points: extreme detail, unexpected situations.

Figure: 3 Time planning

3. Risk management plan


a) What is the risk?

Risk is a measurable uncertainty that is both positive and negative. Risks can bring losses and losses to people, but they can also bring
benefits and opportunities. If people actively study risks, people can find preventive measures, limit negative risks, and accept
opportunities that bring good results for the future.

- Risk consists of 3 elements: Probability, Impacts on objectives and Duration. The nature of risk is uncertainty, so if it is certain
(probability is 0% or 100%) it is not called a risk.
- It can be understood that, risks are uncertainties that occur unexpectedly, unforeseeable. However, risk has both negative and
positive connotations. Specifically, risks cause a lot of damage to people, but it is also from the risks that people have encountered
that people can find preventive measures and limit possible risks.

b) Causes of risk

* First: Objective reasons

* Risks may occur due to the following objective reasons:

Risks due to natural disasters, epidemics, droughts, floods, etc.

Risks due to the development of science, technology and technology, promote economic development and help people have a better
life, but also cause certain disadvantages such as increasing the risk of unemployment, work accident, traffic accident….

- Risks caused by other factors such as economic environment, socio-political situation, such as: environmental pollution, war,
terrorism, etc.

* Second: Subjective reasons

– Due to human carelessness;

- Due to the fault of the third party.

* However, the reality must be acknowledged that risks, regardless of the reason, cause losses such as loss of income, life, health,
property of people, etc.

c) Level of risk

– Frequency of occurrence of risk: Is the number of times that the risk can occur defined in a certain time period or the average interval
of the time of occurrence of risks.

– The severity of the risk is understood as the severity of the loss, a direct consequence of the risk. When faced with a risk, different
subjects will suffer different losses.4. Make real progress (schedule)
d) Why Risk Management?

- Firstly, risk management helps the cash flow in the enterprise be used effectively and bring success to the project by pointing out the
limitations and waste in the investment process, eliminating the costs incurred in the investment process. production and
development. At the same time, determine the purpose, scope and reality of the project to balance and control finance.

- Second, risk management creates the best conditions for investment and business development of enterprises. An effective risk
control plan also means that businesses have an effective and useful tool to increase revenue.

- Third, help businesses strengthen their management. Thanks to risk management, businesses can determine for themselves the tasks
that need to be prioritized, and at the same time effectively monitor business activities through risk indicators and limit adverse
impacts. From there, the business can complete the set strategic goals.

Fourth, risk management meets investors' expectations. Before making an investment decision, investors carefully consider and
consider the risks. Therefore, the enterprise's ability to control risks will reduce investors' worries, directing them to the expected
profit in the future.

e) Risk management steps

- Step 1: Identify the risk

This is the process of forecasting and detecting potential risks in the areas of business activities. The risks that have a great impact on
the business need to be localized and noticed and identified at all different levels.

- Step 2: Analyze the risk

After the risk has been identified, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the possibility and extent of influence as well as the
consequences that the risk brings. Because if it occurs, the risk will adversely affect the implementation of the project's goals and
results.

- Step 3: Assess risk


Is making decisions about risk. Assess whether the risk is acceptable? If accepted, is it serious enough to change operations or affect
the business?

- Step 4: Handling risks

Enterprises need to come up with plans and measures to respond to risks. For the highest ranked risks, it is necessary to provide
treatment solutions so that the consequences are at an acceptable level. This is also an important step that determines whether the
risks are minimized or not.

- Step 5: Monitor risks

It is necessary to closely monitor the steps taken because risks can occur in any stage rather than a single process. Therefore,
enterprises need to continuously monitor and check to monitor old risks and identify new risks in order to promptly offer improvised
solutions if risks occur.
Figure: 4Monitor risks
4. Make an implementation schedule
- Schedule your day gives you an action plan. This action plan allows you to move forward with the amount of energy, time, and
readiness that matches what you have for the day. It also allows you to relieve stress because you are ready with the tasks and
responsibilities that you have to fulfill.

- Create a schedule that allows you to prioritize items as they appear. You'll have everything up front and will be able to identify what
to add to your to-do list. You can also combine these items with your day plan and modify it accordingly. Furthermore, creating a
schedule allows you to identify any potential pitfalls so you can prepare for emergencies.

- Schedules not only help you stay organized, but also help those around you. Especially in relation to work situations. A schedule will
encourage your colleagues and team members to plan and prepare.

With a schedule laid out in front of you, you'll be able to gauge whether you're meeting your goals and what activities are taking up
too much of your time.

5. Resource allocation
In my IoT in traffic research and development project, I used the following human resources:

- Nguyen Dinh Cao and Tran Thanh Do take the position of Developer

- Hoang Duc Dung is in charge of the position of Analyst

- Duc Phuc and Do Van take the position of Graphic Designer

- Cao Linh Hoa takes the position of Tester


- Tran Van Khoi assumes the position of Project Manager

- Tran Hoang Anh takes the position of Doc Translator

- Nguyen Duc Thang takes the position of Packager

Figure: 7: Cost calculation

6. Cost calculation
- The quantity of funding required to accomplish the full project or business is the element. The amount a company spends is
influenced by a wide range of variables, including bills, risk assessment, and labor rates, among others. A strategy for controlling the
company's cash flow and financial structure is a cost management plan. The project cost configuration plan, which ensures that the
budget does not interfere, is one of the most important stages of cost planning. The finance, management, and execution of a
project are often described in the cost management plan. Below are some pre-estimated situations and the salaries of the staff.

III. . Research (P4)


- Primary study

Instead of using public information sources, primary research gathers first-hand, direct information for the objective. Primary
research methods include:

+ Surveys

+ Direct Observations

+ Interviews with important clientele


o Qualitative research + Investigate, determine, compile data, and gauge customer opinion regarding the enterprise's brands, goods,
and services. In research, computations are used:

+ Holding focus groups with consumers and potential consumers to better understand their perceptions of goods and services

+ Arrange trips to and reviews of competitors to comprehend their products and provide services for them

+ Formal and informal discussions with clients about their happiness with the business
